With one partner accountable for strategy, implementation and managed operations, you can reduce operational drag, strengthen protection and deliver measurable outcomes that support long-term business resilience.

The Right Risk Protection, Not a Proprietary Stack

CDW builds your defense from the strongest commercially available solutions, not proprietary technology we invented. Our vendor-agnostic approach works in your favor.

CDW Managed Security Services Capabilities

CDW delivers these capabilities as one integrated program, not a collection of standalone tools. By combining security strategy and leading technologies, we unite every capability under a single managed security service and a round the clock security operations center, so each layer works in concert. As a result, you reduce risk and build resilient protection that adapts to threats.

Managed Detection & Response

Protect your business around the clock. CDW’s 24/7 threat monitoring and rapid response reduce alert fatigue and close the gap between tool coverage and real confidence, so you know threats are being caught and stopped, not just logged.

Turn a flood of security data into early, actionable warning. CDW centralizes and analyzes activity across your environment for real-time detection and response so you can stay ahead of attacks and satisfy compliance and audit requirements.

Respond faster and contain impact. CDW moves you beyond alerts to a coordinated, automated response that accelerates containment, eases analyst workload, and improves incident handling when every second counts.

Entity and User Behavior Analytics (EUBA)

Catch the threats other tools miss. CDW detects anomalies in user and identity behavior to surface insider threats, compromised accounts and targeted attacks early. This layer of added protection focuses on intent, not just signatures.

Logging and Observability

See clearly across your environment and control costs. CDW routes, filters and enriches logs and metrics to improve threat visibility and data workflows. Focus on what's critical, not storing noise.
